Abstract

The present study examines how FUra substitution alters the ability of an RNA molecule to serve as a template for reverse transcription. We observe that reverse transcription of FUra-substituted RNAs is severely impaired at pH 8.8, but not at pH 7.8, while unsubstituted RNAs serve as efficient templates under both conditions.
